Jeb Bush On Indiana Religious Freedom Law: ‘Governor Pence Has Done The Right Thing’ [AUDIO]

In a Monday interview, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush stood by Indiana Gov. Mike Pence in the midst of backlash against the recent religious freedom law passed in the Hoosier State.

Appearing on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” Monday afternoon, Bush told Hewitt that Pence “has done the right thing” by passing the law, which he said mirrors the one passed by former President Bill Clinton in 1993.

“I think if they actually got briefed on the law, they wouldn’t be blasting this law,” Bush said. “I think Governor Pence has done the right thing. Florida has a law like this. Bill Clinton signed a law like this at the federal level. This is simply allowing people of faith space to be able to express their beliefs. To be able to be people of conscience. I think once the facts are established, people aren’t going to see this as discriminatory at all.”

1. proceed, gubnor bu$h

show your true colors

[CatWoman]

2. this is the problem Republicans have made for themselves

they have to appeal to the batshit crazy wing of their party in order to win the primary, but in doing so they piss off and infuriate the rest of the country.

20. But, they win elections!

Unlike the "vise"
democrats are in
with corporations
and the "left".

Triangulation is
a biatch

[Gore1FL]

24. They did, but this strategy doesn't wedge the right way for them anymore. n/t

[Cosmic Kitten]

34. Yeah."if ignorance was painful"

It's not!
That's the wonder of ignorance.

The left or "democrats"
don't seem capable
of generating the same
influence as the LGBT
community on election day?

Why isn't grass legal?
Why does the Prison Industry flourish?
why do wars persist?
Why does Wall st dominate?
But LGBT issues rule Indiana politics?
curious circumstances???

[Dont call me Shirley]

64. It worked in 2014. Gop won overwhelmingly.

[Gore1FL]

65. Dems voters outnumbered GOP voters by a wide margin in 2014.

Gerrymandering did more than LGBT wedge issues.

[Dont call me Shirley]

66. That is true. Plus we have this tiny little hackable electronic voting machine problem :-/

[hifiguy]

48. And the lemming-like migration over the cliff of crazy

can't be stopped. No matter how demonstrably insane any statement by the fly-eating lunatic ultra-right, no other repuke can ever refute it without infuriating the rest of the monkeyhouse.

[wordpix]

53. true they can't win on just 1% voting so must appeal to the fringe crazies

this will be a very interesting R primary season

[misterhighwasted]

6. And while you're at it Jeb, tell us how your favoring of Immigrants will mesh with discrimination

It's not just LGBT they will someday tell us their jesus doesn't love..

[olegramps]

50. He is just another lying bastard Republican.

They are desperately attempting to spin it. They only ones they will convince is the FOX Cool-Aide drinkers who are brain dead zombies.

[workinclasszero]

56. The rethuglicans just can't help it!

They MUST appeal to their inbred hater theocratic base or they won't get the nomination!

After they get it THEN they try to go all "moderate" to get us rubes to vote for them. It ain't working anymore though.

Americans are not going to stand still for Dominionism/Christian Imperialist shaira laws from the religious reich wing!

These idiots live in and only hear the fox/hate radio echo chamber. They done kicked the hornets nest this time and man thats gonna sting reich wingers!

[misterhighwasted]

3. Divying up the KKKristian Bigot Voting Block.

Every clown in the car wants a share.

[Cosmic Kitten]

21. "they" all get paid when "they" win the election

[gratuitous]

4. Quoting it hook, line and stinker

Bookmark this, because when the lie is put to Jeb!'s talking points, he'll deny he ever said such a thing. Indiana's law is not like Florida's, it is not like the federal law. It goes a whole dimension further, by design, intended to let bigots off the hook for their bigotry. Jeb! is on the wrong side of this, and his penny loafers are so far down his throat, he's going to give his tongue shin splints.

Dumbass motherfucker. And he's supposed to be the smart one.

[CatWoman]

7. and it's on tape/video

[SummerSnow]

5. Oh oh...

[Kalidurga]

8. This is great news...

When people say that Jeb isn't a RW loon like the rest of them we can point to this.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. I thought JEB was the "smart one" ?

[Gore1FL]

25. That's not a high bar. n/t

[wordpix]

54. known as "Dimmerson" after releasing emails containing constiuents' SSNs/personal info

this to show he's the "tech" candidate

[hatrack]

10. "But he's moderate!! He's the smart Bush!!"

Two words:

"Terri"

and

"Schaivo"

[Art_from_Ark]

37. Two more words

"Cynthia"

and

"Henderson"

[hatrack]

39. Oh, my yes - how quickly I forget!

[wordpix]

55. "who was on the board of directors of a land development company"--pray tell what Jeb

was doing with land developers while FL gov. When I was in FL during his tenure, I saw CWA and wetlands laws being violated all over the place, wherever I went.

[babylonsister]

11. Whoa! And he's probably already retracted. That's what they do! nt

[markpkessinger]

18. Nah -- they don't do that until after the primary!

[Cha]

12. Yeah, stupid.. we're all seeing how

gov Dense has done the "right thing" . Rofl

[underpants]

14. So Jeb got briefed on it

Meaning he got the talking points so he can repeat the talking points

[Cosmic Kitten]

15. The right-wing voters won't care about the "facts"

MANY Democratic losses
came about because the
fact that people vote on
EMOTION, not reality,
was lost in intellectual
self-congratulation.

The Bush folks are
counting on that
"misunderestimation"

[bullwinkle428]

16. BREAKING NEWS : Ted Cruz agrees!! (just reported by Lawrence O'Donnell)

[RichGirl]

17. Leaders Of Indiana Companies 'Deeply Concerned' Over LGBT Discrimination Law

Maybe this is the nonsense it will take to put a wedge between the republican party and big business.

47. But, but, its not a "discrimination law"! Its a "Freedumb Religious Law".

[world wide wally]

19. I hope this is brought up over and over and...

[Warren DeMontague]

22. He is trying to vigorously massage the base

[SoapBox]

23. Keep digging the hole...

No more Bush...ever!

[SoLeftIAmRight]

26. That is going to hurt and it will stick

there is dirt under every bush

[Noah331]

27. Wonderful.

The republicans are going to cancel each other out. One signs a dumb law they all fall all over each other to agree with the first one like domino's.

[Ed Suspicious]

28. "Ship is going down? Make room for one more!", shouts Jeb Bush.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. Some here have said Jeb are Hillary are interchangeable

Hillary ClintonVerified account
@HillaryClinton


Sad this new Indiana law can happen in America today. We shouldn't discriminate against ppl bc of who they love.

[DesertRat]

36. I was glad to see her come out with this statement

I don't think any GOP potential candidate has done so. Being on the wrong side of history will be their undoing in 2016.

[stillwaiting]

40. They are quite different on domestic social issues. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

42. And the ACA, minimum wage, paid leave, immigration and opposing bloc grants for...

And the ACA, minimum wage, paid leave, immigration and opposing bloc grants for Medicaid and Food Stamps.

[Laffy Kat]

30. Oh, good.

[Rubbing hands together wickedly in anticipation]

[yuiyoshida]

31. They really should change the name...

To the Intolerance Party. It fits them like a glove. They are all HATERS.

[hifiguy]

49. The Raving Looney Party would be even more appropriate.

[PatrynXX]

32. well if he had any chances of winning they are gone now

face palm

[Old and In the Way]

33. Excellent!

The more "serious"Republicans support this POS legislation, the more I will enjoy their furious backpeddling as they try to distance themselves from what tney thought they thought. Morons.

[NBachers]

35. Another huge nail in the Jeb Bush political coffin.

[Gothmog]

38. Carnival Cruz is also supporting this law

[morningfog]

41. Great to hear. That position is dead in the water.

[Orsino]

43. A Bush arrives, once again decades out of step.

Me-Too Jeb is a tool, not a leader.

[hobbit709]

44. There's only TWO ways a Republican could do the "right thing"-One is to resign.

[napkinz]

45. no surprise since he once compared members of the LGBT community to

polluters, pedophiles, pornographers, and drunk drivers

[Liberalagogo]

46. Great Job, Bushie

You just flushed any possible hope you could have ever had of maybe being President straight down the toilet.

Your statement WILL haunt you forever now. No backtracking like the pathetic cowardly weasel you are. (Apologies to actual weasels).

[guillaumeb]

51. another lie by another lying Bush

The RFRA signed by William Clinton in 1993 was designed to protect native religions from Federal interference. So either Jeb Bush
1) does not know this, in which case he is ignorant, or
2) he does know this, in which case he is a liar.

I am comfortable with either answer. But to claim that the law is designed to allow people of faith to express their beliefs is a definite lie. There is no obstacle to people expressing their beliefs, but discriminating against any protected class of people is always against the law.

[tridim]

52. More proof that Republicans don't get it, and they never will.

Because they get off on hurting people. It's their sole purpose.

Thanks for the confirmation Jebediah, you're just as stupid as your brother.

[lark]

57. Jeb is a liar, through and through.

If he's for it, I'm against it - ALWAYS. He tries to sound moderate some of the time, but he isn't that at all. He's a ball breaking, 1%, corporatist convervative who also pretends to be a fundamentalist because that's where the Repug base is. I think his only true compass is what's good for his family and the other uber 1%ers and fuck everyone and everything else.

[Avalux]

58. So...Babs Jr. is saying those against the law don't understand it...

...AND, he's saying it's no big deal, there's a federal law just like it! (parroting Pence).

That's what they do, don't they? They insult us, tell us we don't understand it, then proceed to tell us the 'correct' interpretation (i.e. they lie).

Sociopaths, the whole lot of them.

[maindawg]

59. All so eager to stick their foot in it

This is the same thing as the rape definition issue that blew a whole bunch of political careers to smithereens a few years ago. Its a wonderful wedge issue that the teabaggers must own ! I love it !

[napkinz]

60. unfit!

[MADem]

61. Wonder what he has to say about Pence's Big Walk Back today? nt

[raven mad]

62. He has so lost this race.

Even before he got in it.

[Dont call me Shirley]

63. Can we all use our conscience to opt our tax dollars and lives out of your bloody wars, jebby?

[blkmusclmachine]

67. Let's see the Log Cabin Republicans and GOProud spin this bit of nastiness ...

[October]

68. Most Amazing Headline Award - right there!

Well done. Wow.

[DonCoquixote]

69. Former Floridian here

I can tell you that his image of "the smart one" or "the more liberal one" is a lie. After we voted several times for amendments like light rail, he soimply changed it to where you need more than 60 percent. This is exactly why Medical MJ failed, even though it got more than 51 percent of the votes needed.

He will simply usewh at he wants, and ignore the rest, the rest being mostly made of you and me.

[malaise]

70. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Warren Buffett exposed all the ReTHUG morons and we know that he did not speak before his lawyers briefed him on the subject.
